Bemis; Over 150 Years and Growing

Bemis Celebrating 150 Years: Visit our history timeline

When 25-year-old Judson Moss Bemis founded his bag manufacturing business in 1858, he had little idea the global packaging powerhouse it would become. From humble beginnings supplying cotton bags for milled food and grain, Bemis grew his small business into the largest bag manufacturing company in the United States.

As paper bags gained popularity, the Bemis Company built its first paper mill in 1913, beginning a steady expansion in the manufacture of paper products. Bemis continued to introduce unique bag making machines and bag styles that have revolutionized the paper packaging industry.

Today Bemis Paper Packaging is part of the Bemis family of companies, the largest supplier of flexible packaging in the Americas.
